This book includes four essays, each written by a German specialist, that discuss important problems of the German resistance
with judgment and candor, offering the kind of interpretive judgment often lacking in other histories. Hermann Graml shows
that as far as foreign policy, the resistance conservatives were never quite able to reconcile their hopes for a supranational
solution in central Europe with their desire to fulfill traditional national aims from a position of German strength. Addressing
the social policy of resisting groups, Hans Mommsen concludes that a central purpose was the "de-massing of the masses," while
rejecting both communism and Western democracy. Hans-Joachim Reichhardt assesses the labor movement, wherein Communist leaders
come out badly. Utterly failing to understand the threat of Hitler, they refused to join in efforts to thwart his coming to
power. On the efforts of the religious, Ernst Wolf concludes, as have so many others, that the heroic resistance of individual
Christians contrasts lamentably with the role played by organized Christianity. These thoughtful essays reinforce the impression
gained in larger and more detailed studies: the resistance to Hitler's barbarism by decent German citizens was widespread,
genuine--and tragically ineffective

The 1920s in Germany were a period of intense activity: political parties of all complexions intrigued and campaigned - often,
at the extremes of left and right, violently; artistic and intellectual endeavour flourished. Political instability was exacerbated
by hyperinflation, and social uncertainty fuelled by national shame at the loss of empire and by the humiliating reparations
imposed by the Treaty of Versailles
